You're here doing this when you could be doing anything else in the city. Even while you have those dark thoughts, and even when no one else thought to expect it of you.

I'm not sure a batch of cookies makes up for all the rest but -- [ he takes a bite ] they are damn good cookies, so.

It feels better to be here doing this than a lot of other options. No altruism in baking if it's soothing or whatever.

A thing can serve two purposes at once. [ Why does it have to be either altruistic OR making him feel better? It's both. ]

For whatever it's worth, I'm glad you're here. And that this place comforts you. I'm sure everyone [ except maybe Bella ] will help in any way we can. Maybe distractions are in order.

I guess if people try hard enough, they can still more or less leave me speechless even in this mode.

Not quite my intention, but I'll take it. And you're welcome.
